elebrated author Diane Ackerman will read from The Zookeeper’s Wife at Bard College on Monday, October 30. A little-known true story of World War II, The Zookeeper’s Wife enjoyed months as The New York Times’ Number One nonfiction best-seller, was the basis for a 2017 feature film of the same title and received the Orion Book Award, which honored it as “a groundbreaking work of nonfiction, in which the human relationship to nature is explored in an absolutely original way through looking at the Holocaust.”

Ackerman will be introduced by novelist and Bard literature professor Bradford Morrow. The reading, presented as part of Morrow’s Innovative Contemporary Fiction Reading series, takes place at 2:30 p.m. at the Weis Cinema in the Bertelsmann Campus Center and will be followed by a question-and-answer session. It is free and open to the public; no reservations are required.

Hudson Valley Pottery Tour this weekend

H

ow does the average person recognize design quality in a ceramic object, particularly one that has a function, such as a teapot or cup?

Shokan potter and curator Doug Peltzman talks about getting basic exposure to handmade works. “It starts with defining your taste and figuring out what you like,” he says. “Then you have a sort of defined strategy, where you might be in a store looking at an object and realize, ‘This handle feels awful, the handle is too thin.’ It’s a learned skill, which becomes intuitive over time and use.

“Good design is not just aesthetic taste or how something looks. It’s how the cups sits on a table, how it rises from the table, how the lip feels when it touches your lips. I always say when I teach workshops, ‘There’s not much that touches your lips: a partner, a fork or that cup. It’s important to think about that relationship – how you interact with an object.’”

Peltzman was planning his fall studio show and put the word out to a few well-known potters in the local vicinity, asking them to coordinate their own exhibits on the same weekend. And the first annual Hudson Valley Pottery Tour was cast, molded, thrown and fired.

“Basically, I looked at who, in my mind, is making the most dynamic work in this area. The tour came together as a mutually beneficial thing.” The free tour takes place this Saturday and Sunday, featuring Anat Shiftan of High Falls, Jeff Shapiro of Accord, Kathy Erteman of Kingston, Tim Rowan of Stone Ridge, Bryan Czibesz of Kingston and Peltzman in Shokan.

Peltzman, who has been making pots for about 15 years, talks about the variety of works visitors might see on the tour. “The diversity in this show is something critical as far as education is concerned. It’s amazing, the infinite ways that people can interpret and use the same material, and how that material can speak in infinite ways. We asked, ‘How can people who come to the tour really learn a lot? And not just walk away with pots?’

“So, for instance, at my studio, you’ll see pinch pottery, done like women were doing it 10,000 years ago, and someone else who’s slip-casting with molds. I throw on the potter’s wheel, and I ram-press with a 30-ton clay-masher. Brian’s studio has this 3-D printer; he builds robots for institutions all over. They’re essentially a tool, just like a wheel or any other tool in a ceramics studio. The technology is so new; there’s an exciting thing happening in his studio that blends the handmade with the mechanically made object.”

Peltzman is enthusiastic about all the makers he has gathered for this show: “Anat is casting; her work is stunningly beautiful with a philosophical, contemplative bent to it. She was my teacher at New Paltz. Kathy, who straddles both the pottery and ceramics world with the design world, is prototyping. She designed for Crate and Barrel, bringing her expertise of making really good handmade objects to mass production, which typically gets lost. When you go to a store and pick up an object, if you’re an object-maker you can see how poorly designed some things are.

“Jeff is someone I’ve looked up to since I first came to SUNY-New Paltz and found ceramics, just by chance. He blends a Japanese aesthetic with an Americanized way of firing in a wood kiln, bringing those worlds together. And Tim has been a trailblazer in a lot of ways. He digs his own clay and uses clay native to the Northeast.

“There’s not much that touches your lips: a partner, a fork or that cup. It’s important to think about that relationship – how you interact with an object.”

Doug Peltzman's Round Mug with Copper Luster

In the ceramics world that I navigate, there’s been a real interest in making objects out of native clay, not pulverized clay that comes in a bag. Tim and Jeff both trained in Japan, and have reinterpreted the things they learned there.”

The Hudson Valley Pottery Tour participants have each invited outside artists to show their work, too. Peltzman says that this inclusion will be more important as the years go on, for the people who return and want to have something fresh to see.

“There’s so much good work being made worldwide, and in ceramics in general.

That’s what excited me the most about putting this tour together and being able to work with people I’ve looked up to for years.”

As a group, these six talented makers and their guest artists – Susan Bankert, Brian Croney, Lauren Sandler, Brian R. Jones, Haakon Lenzi and Andrew Molleur – have accumulated extensive CVs. Most of them teach, in addition to producing and showing their work. For a sneak peek at the work, visit Instagram @hudsonvalleypotterytour and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/pg/ hudsonvalleypotterytour/about/?ref=page_internal.

“All the makers on the tour – and every potter I know – are collectors as well,” Peltzman adds. “If you came to my home, there are hundreds of pots in my kitchen, and none are made by me. There’s also something beautiful about pots teaching you over time. I’ve brought pots into my home that, initially, I didn’t like. Things kind of grow on you. You buy a pot because you’re attracted to it for one reason or another, and then it reveals itself to you over time. I think that’s what handmade objects have the power to do: You discover new things about them.”

The Hudson Valley Pottery Tour 2017 is open this Saturday and Sunday, October 28 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and October 29 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. You can find Peltzman at 59 Red Maple Road in Shokan, www.dougpeltzman.com.

MOVIE student with issues of her own (Odeya Rush).

Wiggins does a terrific job of portraying the boy’s highly internal way of processing the loss of his mother and the emotional absence of his father, all while negotiating the usual pressures of adolescent social and academic life. Wes’ moment of explosion, which forces Bill to emerge from his own well of sorrow long enough to reclaim his responsibility as a parent, is the most give-it-yer-all scene executed onscreen by an unknown young actor that I’ve seen in recent years. Keep your eye on this kid; he’s going places.

Ultimately, The Bachelors is as much a worthy addition to the formidable literary/cinematic tradition of father/ son tales as it is an unflinching treatment of mental illness as it alltoo-often occurs in the real world. The uplifting ending supplies enough hope to go on, but not cheesy wish-fulfillment.

And the full narrative arc will make you laugh at the sort of things that, when one is going through them, aren’t really funny – but not in a mocking way. The craft and commitment of these actors will help you slide inside these characters’ skins. You won’t regret the visit. – Frances Marion Platt

J.K. Simmons and Josh Wiggins star in The Bachelors. Voelker’s script had the good fortune to attract the notice of J. K. Simmons before the actor struck Oscar gold.

Down, but not yet out The Bachelors dissects clinical depression with insight, wit & verve

M

ental illness is one of those subjects that the art of cinema rarely gets right. Despite (or perhaps because of ) the fact that most of us have struggled with some sort of mental health issue in our own lives, or those of persons close to us, it’s the sort of topic that audiences want to push away when they go out for some entertainment. We fear it. As with death, we have an infantile, irrational, atavistic desire to believe that it can only happen to somebody else.

Onscreen, as in literature, the horror genre has long used “madness� as a distancing device that gives the viewer permission to feel relieved when the crazed killer finally falls off the roof or whatever. Melodrama may use mental illness in the opposite way, to engage our sympathies for a character; but once again the various myths and stigmas surrounding it are usually fed by misinformation. That’s particularly true when it comes to the subject of clinical depression: Either the non-depressed protagonist is applauded for fleeing the depressed friend’s aura of “negativity,� or the depressed person experiences some sort of by-the-bootstraps miracle cure.

That is, if the subject of depression is addressed at all. It’s not a popular focus for moviemaking because, well‌it’s such a downer, you know? Who wants to see that – especially if a neat happy ending can’t be supplied by Act Three?

The Act Three upswing is the only thing about Kurt Voelker’s new indie dramedy The Bachelors that rings slightly less than true, and I for one am willing to forgive it, since it’s presented as a hopeful moment in time – a step on the twisty, gradual

road to healing. It’s also a valid statement about the importance of support systems for the sufferer, not to mention the vital whatever-it-is that works to take you outside yourself when that self is trying very hard to drag you back into some dark inner morass.

The Bachelors – which had its East Coast premiere at this month’s Woodstock Film Festival and was slated for theatrical release this past week – gets so much right about the topics of grief and depression (and how one can morph seamlessly into the other, even though they’re definitely not the same thing) that watching it is not a gloomy experience at all. I use the term “dramedy� deliberately, as the film absolutely nails the lifeline that black humor provides for people caught in the throes of woe. Set mainly in absurdly sunny Southern California locales, it shows how intractable and unresponsive to treatment depression can be, even when a sufferer’s exterior circumstances change, apparently for the better; but it does so, somehow, without ever feeling like a slog through the mire.

What make it work so well, besides witty, tidy, succinct screenwriting by the director, are the committed performances by a wonderful core cast.

Voelker’s script had the good fortune to attract the notice of J. K. Simmons before the actor struck Oscar gold. If you find it difficult to imagine Simmons as a laid-back nice guy after his incredibly intense performance as the martinet jazz professor in Whiplash, you may find it worthwhile to see The Bachelors simply

to experience the flip side of his thespian virtuosity. His Bill Palet, a grieving widower who just can’t seem to move on, is a sweet, charming, deeply human presence who makes us care. When the luminous Julie Delpy (playing a French teacher, naturally) turns to this craggy geezer for respite when pursued by a younger, hunkier and altogether more insufferable colleague, we immediately understand the appeal.

The real find in this cast is a young actor named Josh Wiggins, who plays Bill’s teenaged son Wes. Bill has uprooted the bereaved pair and relocated to LA, where an old college buddy (Kevin Dunn) has offered him a position as a calculus teacher at a fancy private boys’ school.

Wes is enrolled as a student, and the decidedly non-athletic youth finds real challenge in the school’s requirement that he take track and field. He also finds friends as outsidery as himself, and a romantic interest in a visiting female

STAGE Mother of Us All at least makes an attempt at narrative: It’s a very loosely adapted, occasionally Absurdist life of Susan B. Anthony, incorporating snippets from the pioneering suffragist’s writings and speeches but placing her in a dreamlike setting populated by characters from many

Susan B. Anthony spoke twice on the very stage where this opera will be performed.

In Susan B.’s footsteps Stein/Thomson opera The Mother of Us All to be revived in Hudson

N

eoromantic composer and iconoclastic classical music critic Virgil Thomson is remembered today primarily for his movie scores – notably for The Plow that Broke the Plains (1936), The River (1937) and Louisiana Story (1948), the latter of which won the firstever Pulitzer Prize for a film score. But Thomson also composed three operas, two of them with librettos written by

Gertrude Stein, who had been his mentor in the heady Paris of the 1920s. Both Four Saints in Three Acts (1928) and The Mother of Us All are highly regarded – but rarely performed, on account of the fact that Stein as a writer was generally more interested in language as sound patterning than as a device for storytelling.

Four Saints, while a delight to hear, is pretty much nonsensical in content. The

periods of American history (including two narrators known as Gertrude S. and Virgil T.) – or simply from the author’s imagination. If you go to hear the new production being mounted in midNovember at the Hudson Opera House, be prepared for something a bit more headscratching than straightforward historical drama set to music.

This new interpretation was commissioned by the Millay Colony for the Arts in Austerlitz (with generous support from the New York State Council on the Arts) to commemorate the centennial this November of women’s suffrage in New York State, as well as the reopening of the Opera House’s freshly restored Hudson Hall. It’s also meant to honor the history of the Hall, as Susan B. Anthony herself spoke twice on the very stage where this opera will be performed. Quite the harmonic convergence! Performances begin at 4 p.m. on November 11, 12, 15, 18 and 19, with tickets going for $45 and $25 for the Wednesday show and $55 and $35 for Saturday and Sunday shows. Call (518) 822-1438 or visit http://hudsonhall.org or http://bit.ly/2vIUO8E to reserve yours.

The young and visionary stage director R. B. Schlather reimagines this two-act opera as a musical theater pageant, performed in a site-specific arrangement by a vocal and instrumental ensemble of Hudson Valley residents and starring mezzosoprano Michaela Martens in the lead role. His team of collaborators includes the renowned Stein scholar and John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Professor Emerita of Humanities at Bard College, Joan Retallack.

The team is also planning a series of public spectacles and salons in response to the building’s history as a space for civic exchange, and to provide essential commentary on who we are today as women, people of color, queers, activists,

rural residents and, ultimately, individuals with the right to gather, voice our beliefs and be represented with respect and equality: themes that are as relevant today as they were 100 years ago. On Saturday, November 4 from 2 to 5 p.m., a free workshop titled “Looking at the Issues” will take place at the Hudson Area Library, led

by Bard faculty member Delia Mellis.

Open to community members and students aged 14 and above, the workshop will allow community members to explore The Mother of Us All as an artwork, examining its language and historical context (voting rights, suffragism and abolitionism) through the lens of contemporary political issues. All participants will be invited to attend a final dress rehearsal of the opera, followed by a question-and-answer session with director Schlather. The Hudson Area Library is located at 51 North Fifth Street in Hudson.

True Accounts at Roost in New Paltz

Seth Davis, co-owner of Karma Road vegan restaurant in New Paltz, is also a songwriter, musician and essayist.

The idea behind Seth Davis’ evening of personal essays is simple: Extraordinary events fill the lives of ordinary people. Three local writers will demonstrate the truth of that idea at the third installment of Davis’ “True Accounts: An Evening of Personal Essays” at Roost in New Paltz on Saturday, October 28 at 7 p.m.

The Moth Story Slam-winner Davis, Kingston resident and author Sari Botton and newspaperman Jeremiah Horrigan will read selections from their essays and memoirs. The evening’s only guarantee? Every story is as true – and as extraordinary – as memory and experience allow.

Some background: Davis, co-owner of Karma Road Restaurant in New Paltz, is a songwriter, essayist, father and chef. He has produced four albums, won multiple Moth Story Slams and is working on a book of personal essays. Sari Botton edited the popular New York City anthologies Goodbye to All That and Never Can Say Goodbye. She is also editorial director of the TMI Project and essays editor for Longreads, which features great storytelling on the web from hundreds of publishers. New Paltz resident Jeremiah Horrigan is an award-winning newspaper reporter whose essays have appeared in The New York Times, Sports Illustrated, Salon, Almanac Weekly, Memoir Journal and 650 Writers Read.

Davis believes that there’s a growing community of mid-Hudson writers who are coming to realize the potency of their personal stories and an audience eager to hear those stories. “‘True Accounts,’” he says, “is a celebration of how bizarre, surprising and wonderful life is.”

“True Accounts: An Evening of Personal Essays” will be held at 7 p.m. on Saturday, October 28 at the Roost Studios and Art Gallery, located at 69 Main Street in New Paltz. Donations are gladly and gratefully accepted. For further information, visit www.facebook.com/events/139 7558727001353/?ti=icl.

first met Terri Mateer when I was a 379-year-old philosopher and she was a Nazi. We mounted the boards in a play by Carey Harrison, Midget in a Cat Suit Reciting Spinoza, and although her role was small, her imposing presence – all six-feet-one of her – was not. She commanded the stage with confidence and authority in each of her scenes.

Flash-forward to July of 2016: At the Bridge Street Theater in Catskill, I finally got to see what Terri could do with a leading role. The character she played was a pro basketball player, fashion model, wannabe architect and sometime stripper and actress named…Terri Mateer, in a one-woman show titled A Kind Shot.

From the moment she entered, dribbling a basketball, both the ball and the audience were in the palm of her hand.

This weekend, Mateer’s autobiographical play, which elicited bravos Off-Off Broadway at the Davenport Theater, is coming to the Rosendale Theatre for two performances: on Friday, October 27 at 8 p.m. and Saturday, October 28 at 4 p.m.

A feature-length monologue, A Kind Shot is an unflinchingly candid, darkly comic narrative that holds nothing back as it lays bare the checkered career of its author, who evolves, over the course of its telling, from a talented naïf to a politically awakened woman. Throughout, the percussive pounding of the ball provides a rhythmic accompaniment to the narrative, as well as reminding us that, whatever crazy shit was going on in her life, there was always one thing, at least, that she could control: the responsive round object that always came back to her hand.

As the first female from Brattleboro (Vermont) Union High School to be awarded a college basketball scholarship, Mateer went on to a career in hoops that encompassed playing for Florida State University and then spending one eventful season, 1988/89, as a pro in France, on a team sponsored by Michelin. “The basketball culture was very loose over there,” she says, adding how shocked she was that the players would drink and smoke at half-time. “I was a vegetarian, and I got so fat – I was eating croissants, and I couldn’t believe these 12-course meals! But the level of play was awesome.”

Why she returned to the States is taken up by her solo show, where the incident is examined in detail. But suffice to say that it was part of a long series of betrayals involving exploitive and piggish behavior by many of the men in her life. Happily, that cycle was broken when she married Brian Mateer, a woodworker, Surrealist painter and all-around mensch who has schlepped props and handled the lights for her shows and provided constant encouragement.

Standing up to chauvinist coaches and

people in general and to young athletes in particular.

“The day after Hillary lost, we did the show at Mansfield University, in front of all the student athletes – girls’ teams, men’s teams – and all their coaches,” as well as faculty and administrators, Mateer recalls. Because of the play’s raw language and the “tension of the times,” she thought it would be a good idea to be paid before the gig. She needn’t have worried.

guys, so we played two-on-two,” she says.

“My team lost, but we had fun. The smells, the sound of the ball, the smack talk with chuckles, the getting to know someone quickly, genuinely, not even knowing their name or what they did – it didn’t matter, it never has. I used to play all over the city, with all sorts of people: homeless, rich, black, white, girls, guys, all colors, all economic backgrounds.”

Mateer’s main gig when she’s not onstage is working as a hands-on landscape artist, counseling her clients to plant vegetables and encourage native plants, helping them to feel connected to the Earth and to do what they can to sustain themselves. But more than anything, she is grateful to be part of such a supportive local theater community. “I got my start in community theater,” she says, and the strengthening of self-confidence and personal power it provided is something that she’d recommend to everyone: “Go do it! Audition! Knock on doors and say hi!”

Room to grow Kaatsbaan in Tivoli gives dance companies the space they need

10 Hairy Legs will perform The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in two shows on Saturday, October 28: a special family performance at 11 a.m. and a 7:30 p.m. performance with additional repertory work. Tickets for the 11 a.m. performance cost $10 for adults, $5 for children; for 7:30 p.m., $30 for adults, $10 for children and student rush.

n 1990, when Gregory Cary, Kevin McKenzie, Bentley Roton and Martine van Hamel founded the Kaatsbaan International Dance Center, one of the primary goals was “to get space,” says Cary. “Dancers, as a creative movement, could get ‘out,’ so that dance could become more about movement again, as opposed to introverted artwork.” The group searched throughout the area, looking at sites on both sides of the river, before deciding on a 153-acre, Stanford White-designed Tivoli horse farm. They received a $3.9 million bond from Dutchess County, whose officials “were excited about the

project and wanted it,” and got to work.

Since opening its studio and theatre, Kaatsbaan has brought a rich variety of dance companies, from groundbreaking up-and-comers to established groups, up to the property for residency periods, giving dance companies time and space to work and perform in-progress works for eager audiences. Kaatsbaan and its founders are looking for ways to expand their capabilities, provide more services to the public and pass the center on to a new generation of dancers and choreographers.

There are approximately 24 residences a year at Kaatsbaan, typically ranging from one to three weeks. “Much of the modern dance repertory has been worked-out here,” says Cary, citing the Buglisi Dance Theatre, the American Ballet Theatre Studio Company and V-Dance. An important part of this is a program called the UpStream Residencies, where three to five new companies can get on their feet, literally, practicing on Kaatsbaan’s vast floors, even given the opportunity to perform on a stage the size of the Metropolitan Opera’s. Where space in the City is limited, forcing inward movement on the dancers, Kaatsbaan allows for larger, outward-facing dance, leaps and falls and runs.

Kaatsbaan’s performance season is based around whoever is currently in residence at its facilities. “Sometimes they come in with something in the middle of the work, with something they’ve worked on in the City or elsewhere; and it’s nice when they’re at the end of the work, because they give a performance.” Other companies will work on existing pieces with new members, giving them the space to integrate into the company by learning, working and living together. “You never know what they’re going to come up with,” says Cary.

Some pieces, like Attic Projects’ On

Gregory Cary (pictured above), Kevin McKenzie, Bentley Roton and Martine van Hamel founded Kaatsbaan (Dutch for “playing field”) in 1990.

Triumph and Trauma, reflect on history in challenging and provocative ways. Others, like the 10 Hairy Legs production of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, with two performances on Saturday, October 28, might be more inviting for families.

This results in a varied and substantial program available to the general public.

“In some ways,” says Cary, “that’s what it’s all about. If you create art and no one sees it – in some ways, what’s the point?”

In addition to completed pieces, Kaatsbaan holds several Upstream Showcases each season, which highlight works in progress, often with informal talkbacks after the performance.

Kaatsbaan offers several other dance programs throughout the year for upand-coming and beginning dancers.

Extreme Ballet, held over three sessions in the summer, brings 120 13-to-18-

year-olds from throughout the country to Tivoli, where they bunk together in the Dancers’ Inn and receive training in technique, pointe, repertoire and modern dance. And as part of the Academy, Kaatsbaan offers classes for local kids, teens and adults in Ballet, Creative Dance, Modern Dance and Flamenco.

These help to provide a financial base for the Center, while also making its excellent facilities available to those beyond just the upper echelon of dancers.

Back when Kaatsbaan was still in its planning stages, the founders had sought assistance from various county legislatures, receiving significant support from Dutchess County as well as the office of Governor George Pataki. Cary says that they received a cold shoulder from Ulster County, which he believes to be indicative of a mindset that looks only

The areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to grow; and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good kind of growth, a good kind of industry,â&#x20AC;? he says, underlining that change will come whether locals want it to or not.

Dance centers like Kaatsbaan have slowly been popping up in the area over the last 20 years, from Eagleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nest in Cairo to the recently opened Lumberyard in Catskill. Cary isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t worried about competition, though he stresses that the number of arts centers that the Hudson Valley can support depends partially on whether local audiences take an interest in them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we can convince people to go out instead of staying at home and

watching TVâ&#x20AC;Śor if we can convince people to stop looking at their phones and go see live arts,â&#x20AC;? he says, then the area can support a number of arts centers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It would be great if governments in the area could work to move money and funds to these cultural resources,â&#x20AC;? says Cary, citing the Festival of the Voice in Phoenicia and the O+ Festival in Kingston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We could become known for that, more than industrial development. Because dance, and the arts, is a kind of industry.â&#x20AC;?

When Kaatsbaan was first getting off the ground, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dutchess County really helped us find a spot and gave us the kind of business support that we needed while we developed our own business skills.â&#x20AC;? This included developing a long-term business

plan, only some of which has come to fruition. As it pays off the original $3.9 million bond, Kaatsbaan will move into a new phase of development. Expansion plans include doubling the housing, tripling the number of practice spaces and building a large 600-to-800-seat theater for summer programs, with construction beginning within the next couple of years.

The directors also want to renovate the historic Stanford White barn and turn it into a visitorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; center.

In addition, within the next few years they want to begin applying easements to the propertyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extensive former pasturelands, guaranteeing that approximately a quarter of Tivoliâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s land area will remain undeveloped. They also want to make the 153-acre property more accessible to the general public, adding sculpture and trails to fulfill the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;cultural park.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s here for the community,â&#x20AC;? stresses Cary.

As the founders age, Kaatsbaan is searching for â&#x20AC;&#x153;the next generationâ&#x20AC;? to run the center â&#x20AC;&#x153;for the next 50 years.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you start out, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re just thinking about the artistic side,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But as time goes on, reality checks in, and it turns into something different. It turns into something huge.â&#x20AC;?

9 IN THE WINGS AT KAATSBAAN The 10 Hairy Legsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; performance of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe will have two shows on Saturday, October 28: a special family performance at 11 a.m. and a 7:30 p.m. performance with additional repertory work. Tickets for the 11 a.m. performance cost $10 for adults, $5 for children; for 7:30 p.m., $30 for adults, $10 for children and student rush.

For the November 11 Kaatsbaan gala, the Graham Company will be donating a performance of a scene from Cave of the Heart, performed by Blakely White MacGuire, and there will also be performances by the New York Theatre Ballet, the ABT Studio Company and dancers from the American Ballet Theatre. The performances were curated to show the range of styles that are nurtured at Kaatsbaan, from modern to ballet to contemporary and flamenco. The Gala begins at 6 p.m. Tickets cost $150 per person, with additional sponsorship options available from $1,000. Tickets can be purchased at https://kaatsbaan. yapsody.com or over the phone at (845) 757-5106, extension 2. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Rob Rubsam

MUSIC The axe as art Julian Lage & Chris Eldridge headline Woodstock Luthiers’ Showcase this Saturday

T

he Woodstock Invitational Luthiers’ Showcase reminds us that guitars – especially acoustic guitars – are objects of art and vessels of cultural history as well as instruments. It is also a kind of last stand of traditional values in a world that is now desecrating guitars for fun and profit! When Kurt Russell unknowingly smashed a 145-year-old Martin to pieces during a scene in Quentin Tarantino’s Hateful Eight, the many complex resonances of guitars as art, artifact and changing American symbol were called into play. It formed a neat metaphor for a culturewide devaluation and reassessment of the instrument and its myths.

Russell, it is said, was unaware that the priceless original had not been swapped out for a copy, which he understood to be the plan. Scene co-star Jennifer Jason Leigh, it is said, was aware that the swap hadn’t taken place, and her filmed reaction was genuine horror at the destruction of what she knew to be an irreplaceable treasure. Tarantino, it has been suggested, may have plotted the snafu by design, pulling strings, disclosing and withholding information just so, to capture and co-author a moment of emotional reality regardless of the cost; and Tarantino, some have suggested, should be jailed for this if it is true.

But Tarantino, at least, recognized and leveraged the cultural worth and weight of the instrument in his own dubious way, cashing it in for his own gain and his art’s (and I can hear my theater friends secretly applauding him for this “by any means necessary” pursuit of a fleeting flash of truth in Leigh’s face). Elsewhere in the culture, the irreverent treatment of guitars is banal and commonplace and old news.

This is a weird time for guitars. They have more or less vacated the Billboard Top 100 and taken refuge in the largeniche markets of metal, roots, jam, country and blues. What guitars remain at the top are just as likely to be sampled as real, or else chopped and formed in the lab with less regard than Tarantino and deployed as modular carriers of guitarness in the referential weave of modern commercial music. While the culture still produces a handful of mainstage guitar heroes, many share the sentiment of perhaps the chief

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

among them, St. Vincent’s Annie Clark: a wonderfully imaginative player and composer who has stated that she likes her guitars to sound like anything except guitars.

Clark’s abrasive and intermittent bursts of artfully dissonant, Berklee-schooled fuzz, often wrought from fantastically overvalued Harmony Bobcats and other pawnshop treasures, can be read as a more damning attack on the traditional (and traditionally male) values of the guitar world than Kurt Russell’s Townshend moment – or, indeed, than most of Pete Townshend’s Townshend moments. But see, this is good. The guitar isn’t going anywhere. It’s a beautiful and necessary instrument, and never doubt it. But it is due for a cleanse and a down cycle. Just get used to the fact that it is no longer definitive and monolithic, that it is a symbol in flux and renewal, that it has gone back underground.

I have always thought that the worst gig in the world (or maybe the best) would be to play one of the stages at the NAMM or AES conventions, where all the world’s audio snobs and gearheads convene to geek hard. At every show anywhere (even Snug’s), there are a few cats in the back with their arms crossed in knowing skepticism. Sometimes it is just me on an off night.

Now imagine playing to a homogenous arena of same. But then it dawns on me: In a room full of experts, all are beginners. In a room full of nothing but

jaded insiders arguing over the last ten of a 192,000-samples-per-second, everyone, it turns out, just likes music and can’t even really explain why. How easily the worst gig could become the best and most affirmative.

Imagine, now, performing on acoustic guitar at the Woodstock Invitational Luthiers’ Showcase. Damn, your guitar better sound good. What community could possibly be more tradition-minded and exacting in its judgments than that surrounding the building and sale of boutique acoustic guitars?

But our narratives of tradition and revolution are often contrived, and the truth, in the eyes of the future, often turns out to be the opposite of our perceptions.

Consider the case of the contemporaries Wagner and Brahms: the former a self-styled revolutionary and envelopepusher known for radical innovations in orchestration and novel, programmatic structures, the latter perceived in his own day as the stiffly conservative torchbearer of the Classical/Romantic tradition and forms. Yet when the early-20th-century composers Berg and Webern – radicals who really took music into the rocket age – were asked to identify their models and inspirations from the past, they pointed unambiguously to Johannes Brahms, whose revolutions were all internal and had nothing to do with ascots and rhetoric. We need to be smarter than our coarsest narratives, now more than ever.

The mainstage performers at the Luthiers’ Showcase are about as highend and recognized as you can get; but what interests me is the truth beneath the veneer of traditionalism. The duo of Julian Lage and Chris Eldridge is anything but a stiffly conventional torchbearer of roots, swing and bluegrass traditions. Lage is one of the true superstars of the acoustic guitar: a fluent jazz and swing player who is never content and staid within that discipline, aligning himself just as often with iconoclasts like Nels Cline as with the always-lively community of Django swing revivalists. The only commonality across Lage’s huge and growing body of work is a jaw-dropping, singular excellence. He is a rare kind of player.

Eldridge’s virtuosity is best-known for being sublimated, essentially, somewhere in the virtuosic cascade of the Chris Thileled band the Punch Brothers: a quintet of

absolute acoustic shredders who willingly restrain their blazing individual skills in favor of spectacular and genre-defying ensemble effects that often sound like nothing Doc Watson would recognize as music, let alone as bluegrass.

On the surface, the Woodstock Invitational Luthiers’ Showcase looks for all the word like a last stand of traditional values in the electronic and cut-and-

Helsinki Hudson presents Willie Watson & Suzanne Santo For nearly two decades, Willie Watson has made modern folk music rooted in older traditions. He’s a folksinger in the classic sense: a singer, storyteller and traveler, with a catalogue of songs that bridge the gap between the past and present. On his most recent album, Folksinger Vol. 2, he acts as a modern interpreter of older songs, passing along his own version of the music that came long before him.

Willie Watson joins forces with the indie/progressive roots artist Suzanne Santo, who is supporting her heralded and dark 2017 release Ruby Red, at Club Helsinki in Hudson on Friday, October 27 at 9 p.m. Admission costs $20.

Check out Halloween in New Paltz On Halloween, as the sun sets, I don some sunglasses and a crazy-toothed and shaggy shaman hat that somehow came into my possession long ago. It may be an unwitting act of cultural appropriation, for which I am sorry – or in any case will be when the spirit world books are balanced. From my house about a mile-and-a-half outside the village, I head into town alone and on foot. I want to see the parade.

For the most part, I won’t know any of these young families anymore: as sure an index of my aging as I will experience all year. A number of my friends were late breeders, and this night is one of great stress and what precious little salve as sugar still affords. I will cross their paths and compare notes on costumes and then head on my own way, a free agent. Every night is Halloween for my 20-year-old son, and Liz likes to work the door at home.

On Halloween, I swell with civic pride.

My hometown does it right, and there’s a reason why the people flock here. It is our mature and loving rituals: the costuming one-upsmanship of the parade, which begins at the Middle School at about 6 p.m. and arrives at the Firehouse, where the Lion’s Club distributes apples and candy; the Bakery’s legendary Night of 100 Pumpkins fine art competition, where all are invited to display their carved creations and where the cocoa, hot cider and pumpkin bread are complimentary; the Huguenot Street Trick or Treat, which leverages the inherent spook factor in a 300-year-old house from 4 to 6 p.m.

Halloween is a New Paltz thing.

HISTORY UxmalonHudson Red Hookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cruger Island was once home to plundered Mayan stone sculptures

T

here are watery places in the mid-Hudson Valley whose accessibility actually increases after there has been a frost or two â&#x20AC;&#x201C; places where a small craftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s passage is hampered by overgrown water weeds in high summer. One of those places is Tivoli Bays, a state Wildlife Management Area that hugs the eastern shore of the Hudson for a couple of miles between Barrytown and Tivoli. The South Bay is a proper bay, as the word is usually understood: an expanse of open water. The North Bay is an intertidal marsh, in the midst of which Cruger Island appears on a map as part of a green mass contiguous with the mainland.

Along with Magdalen Island just a little further upstream, Cruger has a spine of bedrock not found in the surrounding marshy areas. But you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t quite paddle all the way around it. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s connected by a causeway road to the Bard College campus, and straddled down the middle by the Amtrak raised railbed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more like Cruger Peninsula these days.

But in the days when it was the home of the Cruger family, canoe excursions by

From the mid-1840s to about 1920, those shores served as the unlikely setting for a collection of Mayan sculptures brought more than 1,700 miles north from their points of origin by writer/adventurer/

railroad entrepreneur John Lloyd Stephens and his sketching sidekick, Frederick Catherwood. The massive stone artifacts were all that remained of boatloads of priceless antiquities collected during the two explorersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forays into the YucatĂĄn, following a massive fire at an exhibition in 1842.

The Stephens/Catherwood expeditions had been financed by a wealthy New Yorker named John Church Cruger, owner and resident at the time of Cruger Island. It is said that he was inspired by an 1834 Thomas Cole painting titled Moonlight to construct some faux ruins of fieldstone along the shores of his riverfront estate, the better to display his archaeological treasure trove for evocative nighttime viewing. Extant historical photographs in the Bard College Archives show tall, elaborate arches-to-nowhere, created purely to evoke an archaic atmosphere.

One cannot help but wonder if 20th-century Bard art professor Harvey Fite, who spent time in Honduras studying Mesoamerican stonework and showed its influence in his own sculpture, was partially inspired by the Cruger installations to transform his bluestone quarry in High Woods into the environmental artwork now known as Opus 40.

John Church Cruger died in 1879; his last surviving descendant, Cornelia Cruger,

moved to the mainland and sold the estate in 1919. Remains of the 19th-century towers can still be found on Cruger Island, though the ruins are fenced off from the access road, and the island is technically closed to hiking because it is a known bald eagle nesting site.

The authentic 12th- and 13th-century statuary from the YucatĂĄn was sold to the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, where much of it remains on public display in the Hall of Mexico and Central America. Among the notable

October 26, 2017 pieces are a turquoise-studded mask of a god and a human figure with two elaborate detachable headdresses, both from the façade of the House of the Governor at Uxmal. There’s also a doorjamb from Kabah showing a subordinate, perhaps a vanquished foe, kneeling at the feet of some warlord crested with elaborately flowing quetzal plumes.

That nearly-60-year episode as a showcase for plundered bits of medieval Mayan decorative architecture is but a small segment of Cruger Island’s storied history. First home to the Wappinger and then Mohican tribes, it was purchased in 1680 by Colonel Peter Schuyler, later mayor of Albany, as part of a patent that included the Town of Red Hook. Subsequent owners built houses on it; the Cruger Island Road causeway was completed by the time the Cruger family took possession in 1835.

In the 1920s, a “home for the aged and convalescents” and two summer camps for underprivileged youths were established on the island; it then became a point of transfer for rumrunners during the Prohibition Era. An archaeological survey was conducted in 1947. Bard bought the site in 1960, and in 1979 conveyed it to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation.

Today Cruger Island is part of the Hudson River National Estuarine Research Reserve; you can find a map of land and water trails and kayak put-ins at www.dec. ny.gov/docs/remediation_hudson_pdf/ tivoli.pdf.

ALMANAC WEEKLY sell that to a consortium of investors in Rhinebeck for $35,000; and the Foxhollow estate, along with most of the land, was sold to Vincent Astor, son of John Jacob Astor, who went down with the Titanic.

The Dowses’ daughter Deborah used her share of the proceeds to buy back 200 acres of the “south land” on the property from Astor for her Southlands Farm, which operates today as an equestrian center with public hiking and snowshoeing trails.

Also speaking at the Country House Conference will be Alison Spear, an awardwinning architect and interior designer, who will speak about the renovation of Obercreek Farm in Wappingers Falls.

Randy Lamb, museum educator and site manager at Hyde Hall, a neoclassical country house north of Cooperstown designed for wealthy landowner George Clarke (1768-1835), will give a talk about the Clarke family and their home, which was the largest private residence in the country at the time it was built: between 1817 and 1834.

The lectures will take place in the marble dining room at Mills Mansion, which “couldn’t be a more appropriate setting for talking about Gilded Age mansions,” says architect and historian Gary Lawrance, who, along with architectural conservator T. R. Hamilton, is coordinating the conference in cooperation with the Staatsburg site. Lawrance will also be a featured speaker. His talk will focus on

Mills Mansion and the Lyndhurst estate in Tarrytown. He’ll also speak about Beacon Towers, demolished in 1945: a grand estate on Long Island’s North Shore considered to have inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald in his depiction of the Gatsby house.

Lawrance is a Stony Brook-based architect whose firm provides architectural models and design development services to building and landscape architects and interior designers. And while he does offer his clients precise renderings created with computer-aided design (CAD) software, he specializes in making detailed, threedimensional models of residences and landscapes, made by hand using matboard and an X-Acto knife. It’s a lost art that was once the industry standard. Lawrance explains that interns in architectural firms were once the people charged with making realistic models of buildings slated for construction, which were used in the same way that CAD designs today are: to work out potential problems before building began and to give a visual sense of what the finished structure would look like.

Lawrence studied architecture and got his license, but after going to work for a large architectural firm, he found that what he most enjoyed was making those models. “It’s artistic and fun,” he says. “I just happened to like making them.” When the firm offered him opportunities to move up into more typical architectural territory, he elected to go out on his own to specialize

in model-creation. Over the past nearly-40 years, his firm Lawrance Architectural Presentations has created more than 1,000 architectural models, and still going strong.

“I call what I do a bit of ‘old school’ and ‘new school,’” he says, “because people do want the computer renderings, but there is nothing like the paper models; something you can put on a table and look at.”

Lawrance maintains Instagram accounts titled “Mansions of the Gilded Age” and “Houses of the Hamptons,” and he coordinates several Facebook groups for followers with mutual interest in the architecture of the Gilded Age. Lawrance says, he has something like 170,000 followers. “I find that amazing,” he says.

“It just shows how many people have an interest in this subject matter. We know how much people love Downton Abbey, and the Hudson Valley has that same sort of story.”

Members of the Friends of Mills Mansion receive discounts on most site programs, including the Country House Conference next Saturday. New members will receive $12 off each ticket for the conference and $5 off any of the Gilded Age Tea & Talk programs this winter, along with several free admission tickets for house tours. More information can be found at www.millsmansion.org or by calling (845) 889-8851.

DON’T MISS THE NOVEMBER 1, 2017 COMPENSATION PROGRAM DEADLINE!

Country House Conference at Mills Mansion in Staatsburg The Mills Mansion at the Staatsburgh State Historic Site was once the Gilded Age home of Ruth Livingston Mills (1855-1920) and her husband, Ogden Mills (1856-1929). Originally built in 1832 as a 25-room Greek Revival structure, a Stanford White-designed extension enlarged the property in 1895, creating the Beaux-Arts mansion of 65 rooms surviving today. With its ornamental exterior featuring balustrades, floral swags and a massive portico, and an interior filled with an eclectic mix of objets d’art and curios from Europe, ancient Greece and Asia alongside carved and gilded furniture, Oriental rugs and ancestral portraits of the family, the Mills Mansion is characteristic of the great country estates built in the 19th and 20th centuries by America’s wealthiest families.

Next Saturday the grand mansion will host an all-day Country House Conference on Saturday, November 4 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. The cost is $65, which includes four lectures, a panel discussion, lunch and a special house tour of the mansion. Space is limited. Preregistration is required with ticket purchase at https:// countryhouseconference.eventbrite.com.

The program will explore 300 years of the diverse history of the country houses of New York, from Colonial-era farms and manors to the grand estates of turnof-the-century “robber barons.” Speakers will include David Byars, deputy managing editor at Vogue, whose book Our Time at Foxhollow Farm: A Hudson Valley Family Remembered chronicles the story of Tracy and Alice Olin Dows and their early-20thcentury Rhinebeck estate, Foxhollow Farm.

The Dows were distantly related to the Roosevelts. Franklin arranged for one of the Dowses’ children, Olin, to paint the murals at the Rhinebeck Post Office in 1940 (reputedly after another distant cousin, Daisy Suckley, put the bug in his ear to do so). And Thomas Wolfe wrote seven chapters of Look Homeward, Angel while living in the guest house of the family estate in the summer of 1927.

When Tracy Dows died in 1937, the home was inherited by his three children, with his wife Alice getting another family property: the Beekman Arms. Eventually she would

NIGHT SKY

Perils of the Pleiades Seven+ sinister sisters watch over our Halloween rituals

T

he village of Woodstock, 12 minutes down the road from me, is renowned for Halloween. The residents and businesses take it seriously, and there’s even a parade. Grownups whose kids are now grown still dress up and stroll the streets. Then when night falls, the full spooky flavor envelops the picturesque

scene.

Normally the end of October displays barren branches that perfectly complement the ominous stage set. Maybe not this year, since we’ve had an extraordinarily warm and lingering autumn, and some trees will doubtless still be clothed. Still, when night falls, one more prop is needed: the Moon. What’s the scariest or weirdest-looking Moon shape?

Not the full Moon, I wouldn’t think. It’s too bright, and brightness is the enemy of fear. What about the crescent Moon? Well, maybe; but perhaps that phase is too much associated with romance. Certainly not the half Moon. My vote would be the gibbous Moon. Looking a bit like a football – meaning fatter than half, but thinner than full – it’s a downright weird shape we see nowhere else in nature. A lot of people don’t even know what “gibbous” means. And that’s the Moon that will be up as night falls this Halloween.

After 7 or especially 8 p.m., lowish in the east, another scary celestial object joins the party. It’s that little tightly packed cluster of stars. There’s nothing else like it.

These are the Seven Sisters, also called the Pleiades. They may seem harmless, but that wasn’t always the case. In ancient times, the Pleiades had a strange, sinister reputation.

Such medieval rituals as the Satanist Black Sabbath and All Hallows’ Eve, which evolved into our own Halloween, were set to occur when the Pleiades reached their highest point at midnight. In other words, Halloween’s date actually revolved around the Pleiades!

Some have speculated that these odd rituals originated as a commemoration of some ancient catastrophe that resulted in great loss of life. Some believe they may be linked to the Atlantis myth – itself perhaps a legend evolved from the awesome eruption of the Santorini volcano circa 1450 BC that devastated the Minoan civilization on nearby Crete.

Halloween’s date actually revolved around the Pleiades.

DION OGUST | ALMANAC WEEKLY

Woodstock's Village Green is a happening scene for Halloween. The parade gets underway at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, October 31.

The Pleiades had an odd importance to civilizations throughout time and around the world. In Egypt, they were revered as one of the forms of the goddess Isis. In ancient Persia, the date on which they reached their highest midnight ascendancy was marked with ceremony. In Mayan and Aztec culture, this same yearly occasion had a forbidding undertone, and was given tremendous importance – with Mexico’s Teotihuacan city streets and pyramid aligned with the setting of the Pleiades.

In Japan, their ancient name is Subaru. Until very recently, the six companies that merged to produce automobiles in 1953 placed a crude star map of the Pleiades on each of their cars. But why Seven Sisters? That’s the real mystery. After all, normal eyesight readily sees only six, the same number found on the Subaru insignia.

If you can see a seventh, then you should be able to see an eighth as well. How many you can perceive tells as much about the purity of your sky as the state of your vision.

With good eyes around here, nine are a cinch when there’s no Moon.

The real thrill comes when the proper instrument is pointed their way – and that would be binoculars, because low power and wide field are what are needed. Beginners often gasp when first seeing the Pleiades through binoculars, because dozens spring into visibility, and their blue-white color becomes obvious as well.

But now we’re crossing over into wonder and beauty and science. Next Tuesday night, let’s keep it “fear” just for fun.

GARDENER’S NOTEBOOK

Putting Lee’s beds to bed Weeding and composting follow up late harvests

M

uch of gardening is about timing: getting tomato plants in the ground early enough for a timely harvest, but not so early that transplants are killed by a late frost; checking that there’s enough time following harvest of early corn for a late planting of turnips et cetera. So, when I began gardening, I read a lot and took lots of notes on what worked here in Zone 5, and eventually compiled everything into a neat table of when to do what.

I figured, with that table, that I was all set and would no longer have to respond to a gut impulse to plant peas during a freak warm spell in late February, or to keep reading seed packets and counting back days to maturity to compute whether there was still time, or it was too early, to plant a late-season crop of endive.

Not so! In the few years that I have gardened – which, though decades, is infinitesimal in geologic time – the climate has changed enough for me to have to shift those dates that I so carefully figured out. No longer must I wait until the end of May to sow okra, squash and other vegetables; the ground warms sufficiently to induce them to sprout a couple of weeks earlier now. No longer does a hard freeze strike tomato vines dead by the end of September. As I write, it’s the end of October, and last night the first frost – a light frost – crept into the garden; later today, though, I’ll be picking ripe Sungold tomatoes.

Some perennial plants that, in the past, usually died back to the ground each winter, then resprouted in spring, no longer die back: yellow groove bamboo, for instance.

Nowadays their leaves stay green through most winters, which translates to taller and thicker canes. Crocosmia corms would hardly flower in years past; nowadays I don’t bother to dig up the corms, which flower and spread prolifically.

Some things, gardenwise, are timeless or, at least, not time-sensitive: the changing day-length throughout the year, for instance. And composting.

Although I feed my compost “pets” – that is, all the micro- and macroorganisms living and working the compost pile – all season long, this time of year those pets have a veritable banquet. In addition to the usual trimmings and scraps from the kitchen, beds are being cleared of corn, beans, okra, cucumbers and all those other summer vegetables that are petering out.

I’m also having a lot of fun weeding. Yes, fun. Yes, weeding. (You might wonder why the author of the book Weedless Gardening has weeds. I grow a lot of fruit trees, shrubs and vines, and some flowers, in addition to vegetables. I have too much garden. I can’t help myself. But everything is “weed less.”)

The ground has enough moisture in it so that weeds are easily pulled. On my knees, I pull at a clump of Creeping Charlie, and creeping vines extending for two feet in all directions move up and out of the ground. I grab a clump of quackgrass and, if I lift carefully, a couple of feet of its creeping rhizome that attempts to extend its reach releases from the ground.

All this goes into the compost pile, along with some horse manure and bedding, some

Next, embark on an unforgettable adventure as you are led into the forest by candle-light to encounter legendary characters of Catskill history and folklore.

LEE REICH | ALMANAC WEEKLY

A lot of water is needed to seep way down into a pile of compost. Rather than keep trying Lee's patience holding a hose wand, a couple of years ago he purchased a small sprinkler and attached it to a plastic pipe so that it fit neatly on top of his compost pile.

hay that I scythe from my field and occasional sprinklings of soil and dolomitic limestone.

As I layer these materials, I pay attention to their ratios of carbon and nitrogen: the two main feedstuffs of my compost pets. Old plants are relatively richer in carbon, young ones in nitrogen. Manure is rich in nitrogen, the bedding (wood shavings, which are old plants) in carbon. Too much carbon, and decomposition is sluggish. Too much nitrogen, and the pile gets smelly.

I also consider how fast ingredients might decompose. Wood shavings, for instance, are high in lignin, which slows decomposition no matter what their ratio of carbon to nitrogen.

Two things that often slow composting are heat loss and insufficient moisture.

Small compost piles lose too much heat; the critical mass for good heat retention is about a cubic yard. The bins into which I pile ingredients insulate the edges to retain heat further.

A lot of water is needed to seep way down into a pile. Rather than keep trying my patience holding a hose wand, a couple of years ago I purchased a small sprinkler and attached it to some plastic pipe so that it fit neatly on top of my compost pile. A pressure regulator (usually used for drip irrigation systems) keeps incoming pressure constant, so that I could adjust an inline valve to make the spray consistently reach just to the edge of the pile. Twenty to 30 minutes give my compost pets a good drink.

A long-stemmed compost thermometer is my final check that all is well. The piles typically reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit. Compost piles don’t need to get that hot; more time composting also does the trick. Any pile of organic materials eventually becomes compost.

Referred to by many as â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ferry-boatâ&#x20AC;?, the house is an example of transitional Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architecture. Moorish inďŹ&#x201A;uences are apparent in the bulbous caps that adorn the ground ďŹ&#x201A; roofs, and in the horseshoe arches that frame the veranda and sleeping porch above. Bavarian overtones are evident in the decorative, jig-sawn balustrades, turned posts and carved braces. Elka Park is a 1,100-acre private community in the Greene Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s northern high peak Catskill Mts. Amenities are: clubhouse, restaurant, pool and tennis courts!
